Genaro Gattuso's troops were thumped 3-0 at second-bottom Verona and then folded tamely in a 2-0 defeat at home to Atalanta and their inconsistencies make them tough to get right.

Inter are the safer alternative, regularly giving their all, and the free-scoring Mauro Icardi, who netted a hat-trick in a 3-2 league win in October, could once again cause Milan all sorts of problems.

Icardi is Serie A's leading marksman with 17 goals and has scored four times in his last two meetings with Milan. The 5-6 on offer about him to score at any time is sure to attract plenty of support.

Luciano Spalletti's men have lost just one of the last six derby dust-ups and they have lost only one of their last 12 competitive matches at the San Siro.
